Book excerpt: Caleb Devine was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. The oldest of four, he battled abuse and neglect at an early age. At age sixteen, he ran away from his adopted mother, leaving his two younger sisters. Homeless and alone in the infamous streets of New Orleans, he became a full-fledged pimp by age seventeen. His short career as a gentleman of leisure quickly ended with the suicide death of one of his main girls. Broke and almost homeless again, Caleb uprooted and moved to Houston, Texas where he became inducted into the illicit drug trade which ultimately landed him in The Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Prison for a young black male was both dangerous and rough. He served five and a half years among some of the most hardened criminals that Texas had to offer. Daily fist-fights and stabbings were the norm for him, but yet he survived to share his story with the masses. After sixteen years of freedom, Caleb is now a law-abiding citizen and resides in Austin, Texas. In 2013, he decided to write this book, Bona Fide Hustler: Based On A True Story sharing the chronicles and perils of his life as a way to reach out to America's youth.
